UK and the Great Barrier Reef with National Geographic. He is honored to have received many prestigious awards including:
The Sara Prize, The Explorers Club Lowell Thomas Award and the Lennart Nilsson Award in Photography and he is a fellow of the

David has documented our changing underwater world since he first put his Brownie Hawkeye camera in a rubber
anesthesiologist's bag at the age of 12. Although completely at home on a coral reef, a World War II wreck, among marine
predators or dark fjord, he has recently found himself immersed in some of the largest and complex freshwater systems on our
planet such as the Botswana’s Okavango Delta and the St. Lawrence River.
David lives in Thousand Islands region of the St. Lawrence River and Dekelders, South Africa.
